How can I schedule droplet on/off?

Posted on July 23, 2015

I need to power on my droplets at a certain point in time (e.g everyday 07:00) to perform some tasks. And then I’d like the opposite: power off a droplet regardless of what it’s doing at a certain point in time (everyday 23:00).

Any way to achieve this?

Best, S.

You are absolutely right, I apologize, I miss-understood the FAQ, I thought powered off droplet are charged 20%. In that case, no point in power off, either scale down or cheap out.

Thank you for clarifying this.
